Sometimes I want to pack it all up
Get on a bus & move to Vermont
Or Maine, or any of those states back East, that I remember
Sometimes I want to go back to school
An East Coast college with some history
I'd be satisfied, I know, in the simple things

Longtime sunshine, longtime sunshine upon me
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do -do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Sometime I want to build a house
With a wood stove or a fireplace
In the middle of the living room, an old piano
Sometimes it don't seem so bad
To settle down with a good woman
Leave this lonely life behind, forever, and ever

Longtime sunshine, longtime sunshine upon me
Longtime sunshine, longtime sunshine upon me

Goodbye, friends, goodbye, my girl
Close my eyes as you fly away
Keep on going 'til you get someplace, where you can truly rest

Longtime sunshine, longtime sunshine upon me
Longtime sunshine, longtime sunshine upon me
